Promoting and Ordering Courses

As an Admin or Training Manager of an Academy, you have the ability to set the order in which you prefer courses to appear in lists. You also have the option to select to promote any of your Academy's courses, including external (purchased) courses. Let's check each option in more detail.

In the left navigation, make sure you are in the Academy Workspace.

When in the Academy Workspace, select Training Admin -> Configuration -> Training Items Listing.

Note: For purchased and external courses to be listed on the Training Items Listing page, the logged in user needs to either be enrolled in the course, or the course should have active coupons.

Training Items Listing

On this page, you have the ability to set the order in which you prefer courses to appear. There are two options you can use: Priority (all) and Priority (enrolled).

Priority (all)

The Priority (all) column refers to the order in which all courses will appear in the available course list. The greater the number, the earlier (or higher) the course will appear.

Courses will appear in the order of the numbers you give them, from highest to lowest. Courses with no number added (zero) will appear last, with the most recent populating first.

Priority (enrolled)

The Priority (Enrolled) column refers to the order in which all courses will appear in the enrolled course list. The greater the number, the earlier (or higher) the course will appear.

Courses will appear in the order of the numbers you give them, from highest to lowest. Courses with no number added (zero) will appear last, with the most recent populating first.

To select which courses appear as promoted, enable the Promoted toggle for each course by switching it to the On (right) position.

To ensure that a course appears as a promoted course for a user, the user must not be enrolled in the course or designated as its instructor.

Notes:

  • Courses need to be public to be promoted.
  • Course category visibility rules outweigh the promoted courses setup. Promoted courses won't be visible to anyone who does not have access to its category.

Filtering options

To find the item you need, you may either filter by Category using the options on the left or search for it directly through the search bar.
